Part X : 1987-1990 Poona-Two : Sunglasses
and the US presidential elections
I am wearing sunglasses in the night; it is due to the courtesy
of President Ronald Reagan. His poisoning has created many after-effects.
One of them is that my eyes have immensely weakened; they cannot
face even the daylight. But even through my glasses I am perfectly
able to see you.
In this connection a practical joke:
I have received an invitation from one of the most important
global promoters in the election of the president of America.
They want me to run for the presidency and they are ready to promote
me. Even though I have been prevented—illegally, unconstitutionally—from
entering America for ten years, certainly I can enter the presidential
election. The law cannot prevent me. I can remain outside of America.
I have told Global Promotions to go ahead.
It does not matter whether I win or I lose. What matters is
that it will decide how many intelligent people live in America,
how many people have a sense of humor and how many people have
a universal sense of humanity as one.
If by chance I win the presidency, it will be really the greatest
laughter in history. And it will be the beginning of a new day.
I certainly hope there are people, irrespective of party or religion
or prejudice, who will support me just for the sake of a good
laugh.
These glasses will do good, they will look good on American
television. At least my face will be more presentable than Ronald
Reagan's. this01
Just today I received information from my sannyasin representative
in America that he was interviewed by the press, because they
have become worried that I am going to enter the presidential
election in America? And there is no law that can prevent me,
although everybody knows it is a joke. I cannot fall that low.
Twenty percent of American presidents have been murdered, so that
is the most stupid place to be. A twenty percent chance of being
murdered…! Even men like Abraham Lincoln and Kennedy are
no exceptions. The best America has produced it has destroyed.
Just as a joke I have said, "Yes," to the Global Promoters,
the biggest promoting agency in America, to make it known to everybody
in America that I am still alive and kicking. Who cares about
being the president of America, I am not that stupid.
The press has also asked the Immigration Department, "What
do you say, now that Osho is going to enter the presidential election?"
And the chief of the Immigration Department said, "This is
possible only if God wants it."
It is good to know that the Immigration Department of America
will at least not prevent God from coming into America. And also
it seems that the American Immigration Department—which
fought me for five years and had not the guts even to arrest me—seems
to be a very faithful, religious, God-loving company. These are
the people who have killed God also, because anybody who is preparing
to destroy this planet—and America is number one…
It is so hilarious that on the one hand they go on saying they
believe that God created the world, and now Ronald Reagan is going
to destroy it. Is this what fundamentalist Christianity means?
